C JOURNALS. When we are told that " the Ministry have one Irish question still left," the question of Municipal RelOrm is of course alluded to, and the meaning is, that were this disposed of, there would cease, as far as regards Ireland, to he a dif ference between a Government of Liberals and a Govern ment of Tories. This would clearly be a most convenient and comfortable doctrine for the latter part'y. It labours, however, under a slight defect : no doctrine can be more untrue. The truth is that the space which divides the Liberals from the Tories in Irish policy is so vast, that it would scarcely be sensibly diminished by the most popular settlement of the question of Municipal Reform, or in deed by any measure that Perliament, could pass for the redress of the grievances of Ireland. Far deeper than in the lowest depths of Corporation abuses lies the true, the great, the capital, the insuperabl e obstacle to the Government of Ireland by the Tories. That a, Tory Admieistration can never egain exist in Ireland we do not assert ; but we do say that such an Admi nistration must fail of necessity, and fail egregiously, contemptibly, and disastrously. Its term would be as short as a winter's day, and as bleak and stormy. The attempt might add little to the political disgraces of the Tory adventurers who should hazard it ; but. the evils of Ireland would be increased frightfully, and the pillars of the Union shaken. These are positions only too easily demonstrated. The Liberals and the Tories differ upon that broadest of all questions —upon what principles and with what spirit shall we rule Ireland ? This is the great Irish question ! This is the question of questions. This is the question that has survived the enactment of a Poor-law —that will survive the reform of the Corpora tions —that would outlive the largest reduction of the Church—that will never cease to be a qiiestion, and the main question, until Toryism ceases to be Toryism, or until the leopard has changed his spots. This is the true Irish question that will "still be left." Settle all other ques tions as you please, you cannot deprive Ministers of this. This will remain, Sir Robert Peel ! to plague you, to embarrass you, to stand between you and office, or, if ever you should regain office, to make its tenure no bed of roses. " While a system of Administra tion is attempted," says Edmund Burke, " entirely repug nant to the genius of the people, everything must neces sarily be disordered for a time, until this system destroys the Constitution, or the Constitution gets the better of this system." Such a system it is that the Tory Government would and must pursue in Ireland. " Every thieg would be disordered for a time." The battle between the Con stitution and the system would be fought, as it has been fought before, and, it is not to be doubted, with the same success to the Constitution. " A system of Administration entirely repugnant to the genius of the people" may be tried, but it cannot be established ; and the Tory states men will find the trial of such a system in Ireland as ar duous in the experiment as ignominious in the failure. They stand upon the wrong side of the great Irish question " still left." Let them sett'e that question if they can Then will they have made a progress towards office, end its secure enjoyment, to them justly satisfactory, and to us truly alarming. But to settle that question is beyond their power. It is one thing for the Tories to smooth the way to office by yielding a surly assent to a Corpora tion Bill, and quite another to shake off the long-established and settled character and habits of their party. An anti- Irish spirit, we repeat it, is an idiosyncrasy Toryism. They can no more get rid of this unhappy quality, than a man can get rid of the essential stamina of his- moral con stitution. No discipline can correct what is part and par cel of our nature. There is a change that no repentance can accomplish, the change that is figured by the vain at tempt to wash an Ethiopian white. Hatred of Ireland is bred in the Tory bone, and, as the homely proverb has it, it will never be out of the Tory flesh. The Tories, we presume, have an edition of the Bible, in which it is written--" Thou shalt hate Ireland with all thy soul, and with all thy strength." Certain it is, that some spirit of evil has engrafted this maxim upon their heart of hearts, and it is only their most censumm rte dissemblers that dig guise the feeling. Sir R. Peel is too crafty an artificer to bare his bosom to the public ; but the secrets of his party are not in Sir Robert's custody : there are Tories in plenty in both houses whose chief sin is not their hypocr'sy, or, at least, who make no mystery of their malignant disposition s towards the Irish people. Then the Tory Journals, which could not eeist were they to play upon any but the true chords of Tory feeling, sttike up in daily and nightly concert the old tune of " No Popery," by which they mean no Papists, or (which is the same thing) no Irishmi n, or rather no regard, no care, no consideration, no relief, no redress, no justice, in any shape or form, in any modifi cation or degree, for hateful, detested Ireland.! The great Irish question, then, is this—shall a thi. d Rut of the European dominions of the British Crown ba abandoned to a party possessed with the very demon of misgovernment ? Can Ireland be ruled either to her advantage, or to our credit, by men who .entertain towards her enor mous population such sentimerr s as morality for bids us to harbour towards a foreign enemy ? Sup pose the next Session arrived and p‘st, and the Municipal Reform Bill, like the Tithe Bill and Poor-law Bill, part of the statute-law of England— would the Tories be less Tories, would hostility to Ireland he less a Tory sentiment and principle ? Would not the grand and essential difference between Whig and Tory, respecting Ireland, be as decided, as manifest, as strongly and broadly marked as it is at the present moment? The Irish systems of the two parties differ as widely as hatred differs from affection. They lie upon opposite sides of the moral equator, with the great circle that divides benevo lence from malignity, folly from wisdom, liberty from des potic government, marking their everlasting separation. The first quality of government is good-will upon the part of the ruler towards the subject. No wisdom will supply the lack of this primary qualification ; indeed, where it is wanting there is no true wisdom to b 2 found. The Tory policy towards Ireland is as unwise as it is wicked ; and they are now eating the bitter fruits of their folly upon the barren shores of opposition, upon which their tried in capacity to navigate the Irish seas, more than any other cause, has cast their piratical armament, with all its craft. Look at what they admit when they exclaim, " Let the Irish questions be removed, and then we will be ready to take office." What is this but to acknowledge," While a single measure for the benefit of Ireland remains to be earn 'd we feel that we cannot administer the affairs of Great Britain with propriety or common decency. Let the odious business of mitigating Irish grievances be done by other hands : we have no voeetion to reform corporations, or take any step for the relief, improvement, pacification, or content of Ireland. Wf. frankly admit that since these detestable things must be done for the Irish people, you, the Liberals, are the proper party to do them ; when there is no more of such repulsive work as redress and reformation to be performed, our day will be come, and there will be some chance of holding office with comfort." This is the plain Enlgish of—" wait until the Irish questions are settled !" We, therefore, have no small degree of satisfaction in announcing that the question of Municipal Reform is the least of the yet unsettled qui stiona. The Tories will see no end of the Irish question:, but " another, another, and another," and above all the grand question, Is Ireland to be governed upon Liberal or Tory principles ? Is Ireland to be governed as a member of the imperial fa mily, upon the principle of the Union, or as an alien and outcast, upon the principles of Toryism ; confidence or dis trust ; affection or hatred ; the spirit of the parent or the stepmother ; the spirit of steady reformation, or the spirit of reckless resistance to all improvement ? These are the Irish questions that are "still leg." The Tory leaders will find enough of difficulty upon their hands, even when their darling Corporations have been swept with the inevi- , table besom.—Mornine Chronicle. The Conservatives of the kingdom have drawn down upon themselves the displeasure of ti,e public enemy, by the heinous offence of meeting together, making speeches declaratory of t h e i r po li t i cal sentiments, drinking toasts ex pressive of their affection for eminent men, or of their devo tion to Constitutional principles, and pursuit).- a course which serves at once to mark the stage which anti-revo lutionary feeling throughout the country has arrived at, and to extend and accelerate its wholesome' progress among the people. Su c h cr i mes of less-msjeste acanst that atrocious humbug which miscalls itself " Liber " we trust will widely spread and fl our i sh in defiance a Of ' t n h ' e fundamental law of the " movement," which enjoins for the harassed health of the State an everlasting change of In stitutions, just as some medic a l practitionsrs who have drenched a patient with all the nauseous p!lysi(l in their that incessant change of diet is their shop, will tell him only remaining nostrum.

What again arc the purposes proposed by these b o di es , according to their ovsn stateatents of their respective projects? The Conservatives make no demands upon their adversaries. They ask nothing but to be let alone. They ask nothing but that the community shall lee i et - peate - -within itself —that the Monarchy shall not he outraged b y Artier sTexo_e. eIY I the alternative of endless (,4efeasi4 . or tumult—!-that the pursuits of industry shall not be eeeeeed, nor tllk enjoyment of property disturbed by loief • f ctr ire et t eD uncaations the barbarous necessity im • against Voietteifoo ,thetrfor to labour, and the iniquitous prisilege ,c.„\ • - • possessed by the rich of living:without manual labour. The Conservatives acknowledge that no scheme of Government is perfect—that time works an unavoidable decay in the most skilful mechanism invented for the protection of liberty, as well as for the - maintenance oflaw, and that where such dege neracy can be shown to exist, they ere ready and anxious to repair it. In fact, they take as their leading maxim, that for the best interests of the commonwealth there ought to be a certain vie inertia' in every political constitution, and that where innovation of any kind is proposed, the onus hes on the framers of it to show by reasoning, not by threats or clamour, that the remedy recommended by them would be better than the disease, and that the disease itse:f is real. The law of revolution is the reverse this. Some weeks ago (we think it was at Leeds), when Mr. Ward, of " appropristion" memory, met a legion of Relit-els to discuss the affairs.of the Movement, the Hon. Gentleman chose to take upon himself the respectable office of mode rator, and made believe that he was desirous to restrain the extravagance of his brother Destructives. What wis the method employed by this enlightened advocate of liberty nisi property, and faithful friend of the Constitution in Church and State? He told the people that he w.as as ena moured of democratic change as any of them, but that it was folly to think that they could get what he and they wanted 710 W. Therefore they must only snatch at so much as, and no more than, they would be able to gripe fast and to secure, but must watch the opportunity of seiz ing the rest hereafter. In other words, Mr. Ward, like his worthy chief, is a stickler for " instalments." " My motto," said this Solomon, " is, Go on. Onwards is the worel.'" " 0 wards!"—'o what, shallow, flippant, foolish, babbling blockhead ? " Ormards!" to what rational, de finite, or useful end ? Why don't you name it ? Are you afraid or ashamed, or ignorsnt of your own purpose ? If you arc so eager for progr ssive innovation, and cannot as sign a h Atieg-p'ece at this side of a democratic a 1 repuldie, but gal'op on, like Mazeppa's wild horse, to destruction, is it not time for the multitude, whose impetuosity you pro fess to temper and admonish—is it not time, we sir, for the multitude to pause and ask themselves what sort of safety they have 'to hope for under such a pilot? We are much pleased, and so we are sure have been a large portion of the most respectable em ,ng our readers, with the report of a meeting jut a week azo at Dumbarton, in compliment to Mr. Colquhoul, the Conservative Member for those boroughis. Tare wag, in the speech of the lion. Member no vazue, inexplicable nonsense, like that uttered by the Reform pote it Ite of whom we made mention just before him. He give the lie to that monstrous calumny which everyday issues from the Ministerial Press, and which represents the return of the Conservatives to power as a signal for the persecution of all their political enemies—for a resumption of the old Tory maxims of Civil Government—and, in short, as if that were possible, for a return to the state of things which existed before the Reform Bill. Mr. Colquhnun, we say, gives the lie to these stupid slanders. He takes Sir Robert Peel's celebrated letter for his text, and affirms, what indeed the country knows full well, that there would be more of the spirit', both of true Reform and of States manlike policy, in any one week of Sir Robert Peel's Administration than in a century- under Lord Jo in Russell. No. By the Reform Bill, bad as it is ie some respects for Conservatism, the Conservative party will abide. By the Reform Bill, lime as were the motives of the Whigs in introducing it, they, the Whigs and Itatlica!s, shall abide; in spite of them. Every known :thuse will b- corrected —every known defect will be supplied—Parlia ment, under Sir Robert Peel, will legislate for England, not forihe Whig oligarchy—for Ireland, not for O'Connell. The . Government will rot give a bounty on political despe ration and incendiarism, by bribing off, with a place and salary, every scoundrel that sticks a thorn in their side—as Mr. Colquhoun truly charges upon the Melbourne Cabinet. The course of policy abroad will recover its energy, at home its justice—we shall at length shake off the qua 1- ruple nightmare of licentiousness and Popery, arb trery power and corrupt hypocrisy. We shall have a Govern ment, which now we have note-7'inzes. For one more Session, at least, the Irish tithe qu-stion —let unsettled as it has been by the recent Act of Corm mutation—will constitute one of the most prominent and interesting subjects for the consideration of the British Parliament. Long and anxiously as it his already occu pied, we might almost say enerossed, the attention of th Legislature and the pubic, the effects of " cemmutetion," " reduction," "appropriation," and " abolition"—the ft miner and favourite propositions for adjustment of the question —appear as yet but little understood, or most er roneously estimated. We allude not to 'directed alarms by which the Tory Press endeavours to fright the rattier) frown its propriety, by asseve sting that the opposition to tithes is merely a part of a foul and fearful conspiracy to esta blish Popish ascendancy in Ireland, or t :at Protestan tism cannot survive the abstraction of its coerced rev , nu't's from the Church. As none are more convinced of the tal lacy of these fears than those lahourine to excite them, rill , ' as those minds on which then can make any impre , sion mu-t be too weak and contemptible to be addressed in the lan guago of argument, these are fallacies on which i• would he a waste of time to proceed in the exposure. The errors of °pi ' nion to which we allude are not those of fraudulent design or fanatical delusion, but. those arising from a gross and unaccountable misconception or ignorance of the effect of tithes on time relations of landlord and tenant. In almost all discussion on the subject it has been assumed as a fact too obvious to be disputed, that the burden of tithes falls exclusively on the occupier of the soil, who consequently will receive all the benefit accruing from their reduction or abolition. To demonstrate irrefutably the fallacy of this opinion, popular though it be, it is only necessary to refer to the fact that all land " tithe free" in Ireland is in, ari bly let at a higher rent than that subject to its impost, so that as regards the tenant, the only question is, whether lie shall pay the amount of tithe to the parson or to the land lord. The general reduction or abolition of tithes, there fore, as in these particular instances, will necessarily lead to a general increase of rent, and unless. where leases s-cure the tenant against this contineency, the whole benefit would devolve to the landlord. It was never the amount of tithes—unjust and oppressive as it wes to increase that amount in proportion to the improvement of industrial occupation—but their application to the support of air obnoxious Church, which provoked the dsadly hostility of the Irish peo le. The conversion of tithes into is 'rent charge is merely the continuation of the same abhorred application, and, consequently, with the exception of inter. posing the landlord between the tithe proctor and tenant, and thereby preventing those hostile and singuinary colli sions of continual occurrence in the collection of the impost, thenew Act cannot rationally be expected to exert any in fluence in appeasing the discontent justly and naturally felt by the people of Ireland in being taxed for the maintenance of a Church with which they abjure communion. The rp duction of tithes is nothing more or less than a bonus to landlords, unless it be regarded as a commission for be coming agents to the parsons in collecting the residue. The total abolition of tithes, though it would remove a cause of fierce and fearful excitement, would, in a pecuniary point of view, be a mere transfer of so much revenue from the State to the o•vnere of the soil. Such is not the settlement which a judia ious policy would indicate. If there be a re mission of tithe, or of any other tax, in r gard to Ireland, the whole people, and not a class only, should be admitted to a participation in the benefits of the abatement. If a doubt could ever have existed as to the right of the State to dispose of tithe and ether Church pro perty in the manner most advantageous to the na tion, that doubt must be completely set at rest by the Act of the last Session, in which the right was by every branch of the Legislature recognisnl, asserted, and put in operation. In support of this right it is therefore superfluous to argue. Thus the revenue of the Church being the property of the State, the plan which appears most equitable, most practicable, and best adaptsd to conciliate all parties, would be for the St ;te to take the tithes altogether into its own possession, and levy theta as a land-tax at a fixed :mount per acre, computed at the average rate, or according to the recent commutation, allotted in proportio n to the value of the soil, in the simile mod , - as the county rates are now apolotted in Irelan I ; or, what would he still better, they might he :ass , sled nn the landlords. The fund thus raised shou'd he added to the national revenue, and from this incr use the Got ern ment would be enabled to reduce Close taxes which bear most heavily on the poor. Tithes would thus he nbo fished " in name and na t ure, " and all p trties would equally participate in the advantage of their abolition, whereas to abolish them without substituting an equiva lent tax on the soil, though it would remove a rna n strous grievance, tranquillise the country, and for the present relieve the occupiers of the land, it would ulti mately tend only to swell the rental of the landlords. It is not the present only, but the future also, which should guide the actions of a Legislature. The abolition of tithes weunl eff et an immense good in tranquillising the country, hut before twenty years would have elapsed, the whole pecuniary benefits would have gradually found their way emo intotile pock e t s o f th e owners o f the soil, and the burden erl with the tithes would be rep laced by an addition r ae k- rents. Tithes ought to be regarded as the pro perty of the State in the soil, and had they been fixed at a certain amount, So as not to eperate as a tax on indus try, and applied to national purp oses , i nstea d of to the support of an a i l , i ao e n r ieri C er l o i w u vni r du e/ il i n , dg th ey wou ld have proved the roost s t t h easy their meanscontinuance ional expenditure. a never ve t e be n hav a e t been th e subject c makin g a provision for ihe of complaint.

It does seem to us that the Whir: persons who have ei y iirdulged in speetdatioils alt ut the netral cliaaeta to be effected by education are nothing short o f craze ; and we are quite cons ince] that if they give utterance to anythine about the direction of their peculeary affairs half so wild, fantastical, and repugnant to tl•e reality of things as that which they utter ebeut education, their friends would begin to take me 'so es for putting them ureter some more healthful government and restraint than that of their ottn minds. Flo-al certain hints which have fallen out in rela tion to Whig schemes of education, it seems that tho e uni versal agent s fur introducing Whig change i stn the doniesti,. habits of the people, the Poor-law Commissio ner are to have somethime very material to do with, at all events, the initiatory process. We coil fess that we like not tins. The poor-law Com missioners noiy be very well in t! ear ctwu line of business—and a very hateful, heart-hardenine hnie of busi ness it seems to be—but as to the r ahlity for setting jut action a system of religious educatien, we have no sort of trust in it.

As it was. quite evident that mischief would ensue if the defendant was permitted to have the charge of the cab, he was a.xordingl.Y conveyed to the station-house, and the vehicle was conveyed to the Green•yard.
